Stop ClarcuttingCA is a grassroots campaign, committed for over a decade to educating the public about clearcutting. This widely used timber harvesting technique replaces forests with industrial monoculture tree farms. It degrades forest floor soil and watersheds, decreases biodiversity, threatens wildlife, increases wildfire danger, accelerates climate change, and promotes environmental injustice. It harms us all.

The StopClearcutting CA team also fights to preserve our remaining old-growth and mature trees and to stop the global expansion of the wood pellet and biomass incineration industries. Rather than relying on aggressive forest thinning to reduce wildfire risk, we advocate for less harmful and more proven strategies, like home and community hardening. Visit our Resources page to explore the science, news, and more about these issues and more.
